Rothstein Guitars is proud to announce the availability of high quality prewired "drop-in" assemblies for the Jazzmaster® available both with and without Curis Novak's famous Jazzmaster pickups. Just like our highly regarded Strat, Tele and bass assemblies, these prewired Jazzmaster® assemblies use only the finest electronic components, and are even 'period correct' with regards to the color coding of the vintage style cloth wire. All components are treated with Caig Deoxit for long trouble free use. They feature our custom made copper shields, only available at Rothstein Guitars. Fair warning...these will not be inexpensive but they will be of the highest quality you can find and worth every penny.

We are offering the following 3 wiring configurations.

1. TRADITIONAL

This will be "vintage correct" including the proper color coded vintage style cloth wire (black, white, yellow, red, blue and green). The only enhancements over vintage wiring will be the inclusion of a treble retention circuit (volume kit) and our high quality copper shield.

2. NEW! ROTHSTEIN S15™ WIRING w/NOVAK CAT5 PICKUP - more info...

4K to 8K to 12K to 16K AT THE FLICK OF A SWITCH! Get 15 sounds out of your bridge pickup!! - Read more about it and listen to sound samples Here. Curtis Novak and I have teamed up to develop this very exciting and unique mod for the Jazzmaster® that will give you 15 killer sounds out of your JM bridge pickup, while leaving the rest of the guitar circuit exactly the same. We are not talking about 15 filters. We are talking about transforming your pickup from one voiced for clean tones at 4K, to a thicker version at 8K, to one voiced for crunch at 12K to another voiced for a hard edge at 16K. It will provide you you with the ultimate combination of tone and versatility, it is really easy to use, and it looks really cool to boot!!! This mod is entirely passive (no batteries) and it will drop right into your existing Jazzmaster easily requiring no routing at all

3. BYPASSABLE DUAL DIAL-A-TAP CIRCUIT - more info...

Check out Sounds Samples Here. This is very cool with no visible changes, and specifically designed to work with Curtis Novak's humbucking Jazzmaster® pickups. My intention was to add a lot of versatility to the Jazzmaster. I find that you can get a really versatile range of sounds for styles of music ranging from punk to bebop to hard rock without sacrificing the required "twang" for that classic surf sound. The dual dial-a-tap controls allow you to blend in the desired amount of coil tap. When fully tapped the 2 pickups are still hum-canceling because one pot shorts the north coil of one pickup and the other pot shorts the south coil of the other pickup. In addition, the mod is completely bypassable (think true bypass) using the slide switch.

About the Tortoise Pickguards

We offer a variety of pickguards, and the most popular choice seems to be Tortoise. We carry 2 varieties of Tortoise pickguards. One made by Fender which will retrofit into any USA Fender Jazzmaster. The other is made by (or at least packaged by) Allparts and will retrofit into any import (MIM / MIJ) Jazzmaster. The image below will show the color variations between the two.
